Frootwood

Fruit Beer

We took a crisp, light-bodied cherry ale and hid it away in oak barrels that have held both bourbon and maple syrup. After a lengthy stint, it emerged a changed beer, blanketed in notes of warm vanilla and earthy sweetness. The wood proves itself the star of this beer, adding depth and taming the tart cherry while the maple imposes a velvety texture that lingers for not a moment too long.

Clear copper color. Very smooth and blended cherry and maple flavors. Barrel ages flavor is awesome. Rich finish.

Sweet and slick; barrel-aging probably helps.

Kinda cough syrup like. I'm really wondering how we're this far in a pandemic before I remembered I had this glass...

Hides the alcohol well, fruity, sweet but with the bourbon finish

Soft cherry sweetness enhanced by maple syrup barrel aging brings oak, vanilla, light bourbon. Tastes more like a mixed drink definitely unique! Great mouthfeel no bitterness. Superior craftsmanship by the master innovators at Founders A/A+

Definitely better at the taproom but wow! Smooth and tart at the same time. Big fan of IPAs but this one really got me!
